odd vibration

[Mr4G]

Ok, I've searched the forums and haven't been able to come up with a clear answer to my problem. While driving my 90 awd talon, i have noticed when i cruise at 45 or 55 mph at steady throttle i get a vibration or shuddering noise. I can feel it slightly in the steering wheel but mostly feel the front end vibrating. If i let off of the gas it will go away, if i accelerate it will go away. If i turn the steering wheel hard it will go away. It does it when the wheel is straight or very slightly turned. The car has new ball joints, tie rods, and suspension that have been on the car before any problems occurred. i have a 6 puck sprung with an act 2600. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

are your wheels balanced??.... it MIGHT be that

bad motor mounts or mount maybe? if the wheels werent balanced it would do it all the time

40-60mph is usually the magic number when there is a shimmy or shake. That is usually an unbalanced tire/wheel. There's really nothing else that can cause this in the front end. Possibly A arm bushings worn or out of alignment(meaning they are worn and the geometry is off).
Does it do it on accell/decel at all? May be worn engine mounts along with driveshaft hangers being worn.

The engine mounts are all new, and the a arm bushings have no play in it. I will take the car to get the tires balanced in the next few days and see if that is the issue and if it corrects it or not i will post if it solved my problem.

 

[Mr4G]

problem resolved. the issue turned out to be a bad a bad wheel bearing.

I was going to guess that or the carrier bearing worn or loose on the front axle.
